By donning nuns' black and white habits street walkers hope to make the tough new legislation so confusing that it becomes unworkable... "We'll dress as nuns so that the police will arrest scantily dressed girls outside discos or other women with their cleavage on show," said Pia Covre, of the Committee for the Rights of Prostitutes. "The idea of wearing gowns or habits down to the feet is to confront the decrees which limit even the freedom of what you can wear," she told the Corriere della Sera newspaper. "In Florence, for example, the mayor has forbidden girls from walking up and down and we are thinking of going around on bicycles instead." Meanwhile police in Rome have issued more than 100 prostitutes and 40 of their clients with spot fines of 200 euros (£158) since the new decree was introduced on Tuesday.
